The director draws a comparison between shooting weddings and action sequences, describing both as intense endeavors. She remarks, "Made in Heaven is like a beast, so even without COVID-19, even in season one, it had such a huge ensemble cast, every episode had a wedding. Shooting a wedding is like shooting action, it is pretty intense."
The pandemic further complicated production logistics. COVID-19 restrictions limited the number of individuals allowed on set to 50 or fewer, yet the nature of Made in Heaven necessitated a larger crew and cast. The intricate logistics, numerous shooting locations, multiple directors, and a myriad of actors all contributed to the challenge of managing the production amid the pandemic.
The upcoming season of Made in Heaven features a returning ensemble cast including Sobhita Dhulipala, Arjun Mathur, Jim Sarbh, Kalki Koechlin, Shivani Raghuvanshi, and Shashank Arora. Joining the ensemble are new additions Mona Singh, Ishwak Singh, and Trinetra Haldar.
